Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish.
Today I am sharing with you the top ten books that I would like to see adapted for tv or film. When done well, adaptations can be AWESOME and catapult a book into the forefront of the public’s minds.
Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan: I could have picked any of his novels that I’ve read. I chose BMB as the secondary characters were as good as the main ones, and I would make this into a tv series if I had the choice.
The CHERUB series by Robert Muchamore: Again, an awesome idea for a TV series. Each episode or set of episodes a different mission. Done properly, this would make my LIFE.
Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson: Such an emotional summer read, this would make an excellent movie.
The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud: The start of a new adventure packed series, I can already picture it on the big screen!
Geek Girl by Holly Smale: Funny yet brutally honest, I need more geeky films in my life! Especially when they involve Harriet and Toby. (And Harriet’s dad, of course).
Dust Lands series by Moira Young: An amazing dystopian / postapocalyptic series. I love the unique style of this one, and am dying to read the third book!
Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha van Leer: This book is GORGEOUS and the illustrations really make it come to life (the irony, I know!). A film would be epic.
The Timeriders series by Alex Scarrow: Similar to Muchamore’s CHERUB series, I can only imagine the endless adventures the Timeriders team could embark on.
The Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter: While I haven’t read all the books in this series, I have really enjoyed it so far and the boarding school feel would make for perfect movie material.
Half Brother by Kenneth Oppel: MONKEYS. No other explanation is needed.
Snuggling On The Sofa 
I agree with so many of your choices, but ESPECIALLY the Dustland series. I think that would be amazing as a film!
Thanks Clover! I can’t wait for the third Dustlands book, it seems like forever!
I have between the lines sitting here, Lockwood & boy meets boy are still languishing on my kindle :-S good choices though-geek girl would be awesome! Here’s my list http://fabulousbookfiend.blogspot.co.uk/?m=0
Oh dear! Between the Lines is really beautiful (don’t be put off if you don’t like Jodi Picoult). Boy Meets Boy is fun and Lockwood a great adventure! Books for every mood 🙂
I agree with a lot of your choices. Especially Geek Girl, that could be a lot of fun! 😀
Thanks Chrissi!
Completely agree with Geek Girl and Blood Red Road, both would be insanely epic movies!
Thanks Anya! There are so many amazing books out there it was hard to pick ten 🙂
Fab list! Second Chance Summer would be amazing, and such an emotional film! Also, can you imagine Infinite Darlene translated onto the big screen? How amazing would that be???
Oh god that would be AWESOME! I wish I had the powers to make it happen 😛
Boy MEets Boy! I definitely agree with that. And, also, with Between The Lines- that would make a very interesting film, I think! Great post! 🙂
Thanks Georgia! I’m totally pushing Between The Lines for a movie 😀
The Gallagher Girls books would make great movies! I recently read the last one and loved it so I definitely agree with your choice.
Great answers, Debbie!
Thanks Lucy! I need to catch up on that series 🙂
